 Posted: 11/29/04 - 12:40 Post subject: Gatorade
I can remember reading about how some particular replenishment goo gave someone around here a nasty migraine, maybe it was on CH. Anyway, the last couple weeks I've been dealing with migraines and although it could be stress-related, the only dietary change I've really made is the addition of Gatorade. I don't get a migraine every time I use it but I wondered if anyone out there in radio listener land knew of any connection. Thanks.

As a major Gatorade drinker and a major migraine sufferer, I can say that Gatorade has only HELPED lessen the severity my migraines.

With so much variation in body chemistry, I'd really recommend buying a bottle of each and every sportsdrink you can find to try them all and see how you react. They're all a little different and if Gatorade has a bad side effect for you, keep trying. Or what I'm guessing might be up your alley is to do a little googling and find a recipe to make your own. I've read here and there about runners brewing their own to get favorable flavor, cost and avoid any side effects.

I have been using cytomax for awhile, and find it much better than gatorade.

Thanks, all. It may be that it isn't the Gatorade at all, I just thought since it has a lot of sodium and I'm not even sure what's in it, that it was a possibility.
I hope it's not the Gatorade, I can't believe how much better I feel after I run when I drink that than just plain water.

I have never had any problems with Gatorade. If you are feeling better after stopping drinking it then I think you know what to do.

Look at all the ingredients. Allergic to food colors?

I've seen them all the recipes. They basically are:
Fruit juice
1 Lime squeezed (optional)
3/4 Morton Lite teaspoon salt
3/4 C sugar white or brown (maple syrup optional)
2 3/4 quarts water
